Support the CL network

There are a few of us on here who are similarly minded and judging by some recent posts a lot more people seem to be coming to the same conclusion regarding social distancing. It is certainly an opportunity for those cl owners who are able to advertise to attract new trade. I just hope I'll still be able to get booked into a few of my favourites when they are "discovered"😀

Have not used cl's much in the past but after the way we are being treated by our DG  the CL network will be my 1st choice, that is if I renew my membership 

We discovered CLs relatively late in our caravanning career,  but having discovered them, never found one we wouldn't return to which is more than I can say for many "high end" sites. If we were continuing to tour in a caravan we'd be using them pretty much exclusively. Just have to hope, on members' behalf that the majority of them survive the current crisis. 

We do roughly 250 nights a year away in our caravan, and have done so for the last 18yrs or so, and we use CL's about 90% of the time. Just hope that there will be room on them when we are able to get out and about again, what with all these new to them threatening to fill up all the pitches.

CL's are fine if they are A) in the right place and B) have the right facilities. So for me A) means near somewhere to visit within easy walking distance or a bus ride away and B) I would prefer a hardstanding but not bothered about toilet blocks. Last year we used two CL's, the first time for many years. For us it's all about location and ease of getting around without the need to take the motorhome off site. I have done a bit of research and am making a list of possible CL's. Whether we get to use any this year is another matter!

Much easier with a caravan and a Sorento to enjoy life in the country!

 Admittedly some CLs may be off the beaten track but so can many Club sites. What CLs give you are variety and peacefulness at a great price. If your motorhome can get you there and then away to your next site, what is to stop you from using it ( if needed) whilst you are there.

 what facilities do you need other than a tap & an elsan disposal point? Surely the whole point of a CL is how basic they are .... I tow my 'fancy facilities' with me

It was eight years of caravanning before I went to my first club site. I'd always go for a CL as a first option although I have stopped on a few that I wouldn't use other than as an overnight.

In over 7 years of caravanning and campervanning, I can only recall using one CL site.
